My Story

and figuring it all out
at the same time

I’m a college girl at IU — informatics major, beauty creator, actor, and painter. I collect interests the way most people collect playlists: chaotically and with full commitment.

Beauty is what started all of this. Figuring out that the perfect messy bun is the one you put the least effort in, that confidence isn’t about looking polished — it’s about feeling like yourself. That’s still true. But I’m also the person who stays late in the painting studio, who shows up to every audition, who finds the same satisfaction in getting a scene right as in getting a hair tutorial right.

So this is all of it. The beauty tips and the vulnerability, the creative process and the confidence journey, the acting reels and the glow-up content. Everything I’m figuring out, shared in real time.
